A gas balloon may also be called a Charlière for its inventor, the Frenchman Jacques Charles.  and became the world leader in tethered gas balloons through the development of three flagship products: 1) the AERO 30 NG (since 1994) a large

tethered balloon that can lift 30 passengers up to 500 feet every 10 minutes with 50 balloons sold in more than 25 countries in cities including Paris, Berlin, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubao, 2) the AERO2 (since 2000), a mobile balloon designed for 2 passengers, and 3) the AEROPHARE (since 2007), the first balloon capable of flying up to 130 feet with 12 passengers in up to 50 mph winds.
